Do you mean fitting an upright 1600cc engine into an existing 2-litre Kombi?
Or do you mean boring and stroking a 1600cc to make a capacity of 2000cc?

why do you wish to down-grade your engine? is that what u mean, to replace a 2ltr kombi engine with a 1600 upright engine?

Is the ute a work horse??
I would think the 1600 into the 72 would be a better option - lighter etc
Wouldnt a 72 originally come with a 1600??

yep the 72 came with a 1600 and the 76 with a 2L and as then ute can fit any of the air cooled engines 1600 - 2L . so the ute fried the 1600 when the rag went into the fan so i aquired a 1800 to make life better but the cam lost it cam and turned into a stick so now my 76 bus is donating it's 2L and i want to put a 1600 in the bus as i have a few bits laying around and can build a engine from the bits unles someone has a free engine laying around with a good bottom end

Yes the Type 4 engine (whether 1800 or 2000) will fit in a pickup, but be aware that the vans fitted with those engines had an additional access hatch on top of the motor.
Your early pickup won't have that, so you will be hard pressed to fit and adjust the motor through the tiny rear hatch. 1800/2000 engines have twin carbs that will need to be syncronised - you'll need long arms and double jointed fingers to fit and adjust all that through the rear hatch. Also the idea of putting a 1600 into a 2-litre van is a backward step.
You would be better off taking the time to repair the pickup's 1600, and leave the '76 alone.
